For over a decade, Joel Figueroa has been a cornerstone of UPPERROOM, Dallas’s powerful movement of spontaneous and Spirit-led worship. As a worship leader, songwriter, and recording artist, Joel’s deep-rooted commitment to creating a space for God’s presence is reflected in every song he leads and every prayer he prays.

Joel’s musical journey with UPPERROOM includes impactful contributions to projects like the live album 1350 (Live), where he led the powerful track “Leadership of the Lord (My Reward)” alongside his wife Elyssa Figueroa. He also collaborated with David Cruz on the soul-stirring track “You and You Alone (Lo-Fi Version)”—each song an invitation into deeper intimacy with the Lord.

But for Joel, music is more than a performance; it’s a ministry. His heart beats for living a life centered on Christ, family, and authentic connection. An alumnus of Christ for the Nations Institute (CFNI), class of 2009, Joel continues to inspire and lead through his commitment to worship that transcends the ordinary and draws people into the presence of God.

Together with his wife Elyssa, who is also a worship leader, Joel continues to shape the sound of UPPERROOM, leading others in moments of powerful worship while keeping family, faith, and community at the center of everything they do.
